Queenstown’s Original Jet boat Ride — 1 Hour of Power on Lake Wakatipu, the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers.
Highlights
- Amazing one hour jet boating experience along the Kawarau & Shotover rivers
- Travel at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep
- Experience exhilarating 360 degree spins - what jet boats are renowned for!
- Travel 45 kilometres and soak up the diversity of stunning Queenstown landscapes
Leave downtown Queenstown in your wake as you power into the channels of two of New Zealand's most scenic waterways; The Kawarau & Shotover Rivers!
Skimming over the pure waters of Lake Wakatipu taking in stunning views of the Remarkables Mountain range, we follow the beautiful willow lined Kawarau River, before pursuing the shallower waters and fast-moving braids of the famous Shotover River.
In the shallow waters the Jet boat comes into its own travelling at speeds up to 95 km/ph often in water less than 5cm deep! Your experienced driver will skillfully negotiate the narrow braids, and tight turns of the river while making plenty of time for the exhilarating 360 spins that Jet boats are renowned for.
Covering a full 45 kilometres you get to experience the fantastic diversity of Queenstown's waterways, take in glimpses of local life from the homes lining the lakeshore, as well as stunning views all along the way including river gardens and great views of the Remarkables Mountain Range.
Driven by over 60 years of passion, KJet is locally owned and operated and proud of its heritage as the world's first commercial Jet boat operation.

Ride was underwhelming. VIDEO WAS SCAM.
The ride was ok i guess for the price. But it took more than a dozen of email exchanges to get the video that I had already paid for. Very slow and low quality service. After all that hassle, they send a 1 min 18 sec video, I thought it was a preview but no. That was it. When I asked about it, got ghosted!! Whatever you do, do not buy the video!!.
